These easy, cheesy pull-apart sliders with BBQ beef and melty cheese are perfect to feed a crowd!
Ingredients :
For the BBQ beef mixture:
2 pounds lean ground beef 80/20
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the sliders:
¼ cup barbecue sauce
12 Hawaiian rolls slider buns, or dinner rolls
6 slices cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning
Directions :
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a medium bowl, add the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and salt & pepper. Mix just until combined.
Pat the beef mixture into a 9×13 pan (or form a 9×13-inch rectangle on a baking sheet). Bake for 14 minutes.
Remove the beef from the oven and turn the oven to broil. Use a paper towel to dab any grease off the top with a paper towel, and brush the top of the beef with the barbecue sauce. Broil 6 inches from the heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until browned and cooked through (160°F).
Turn the oven temperature down to 375°F.
Without separating the rolls, cut the slider buns across to create a top and bottom. Place the bottom half in a clean 9×13 baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet.
Place the cooked beef on top of the buns and top with cheese. Add the top buns, brush with melted butter, and top with sesame seeds. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Cut between each bun to separate the sliders. Serve with toppings as desired.
